Yes very heavy duty solid engine mounts ;)
Car only gets worked on after 7pm on week days and all day on weekends
This is 2 weeks worth of work, engine bay shave is almost done and wire tuck almost done, roll cage should be done this coming monday so car will be dropped off to get painted candy apple red (under hood, in car, in trunk, outside, a complete new paint job =))

Engine was moved 1 3/8" further foward in the engine bay to get the trans to fit in the tunnel without modification to the actual frame (tunnel met the 5 lb sledge hammer ;))

Fuel cell is in the works later next weekend, more pics coming this sunday
Cage is 1 5/8" .083 4130 chromoly all tigged and made by me (just got a nice bender)

Not often you see an s2k with pedals like these ;) (old man making me custom covers soon that will match factory but have bigger brake pedal to look factory)

When car gets running again it will be pushing somewhere between 800-900whp
Car weights 2700 lbs with me in it (when I decide to go pro class I will do tube chassis and make it weight 1900 with me in it ;))
Tranny of choice is chevy Th400 full trans brake, manual valve body, b&m ratchet reverse patter shifter, line lock, etc

When you say "race car" what exact does that mean? Drag, road race, drift, auto-x,...? I'm assuming a drag since you moved the engine further ahead and that's the last thing you'd want in any of the other choices.

Re: Official JG-Fab.com s2k Race car build post updated weekly
 

Yes it is a full drag car now
also the 3 speed auto tranny wouldnt exactly be a good choice for any other type of racing ;)

Looks bad ass already.What are your plans for the rear end?I was under the impression it wont hold mega hp.

Re: Official JG-Fab.com s2k Race car build post updated weekly
 

Looks good. I would double check the angle on the down bars. I know SCCA and IMSA have a 30 degree rule. I don't know anything NRHA or IRHA. Other then that it looks like you have been putting in the time.

details on the engine and what's being done to it to yield that kind of power...

Re: Official JG-Fab.com s2k Race car build post updated weekly
 

They are both exactly 30 degrees and yes 30 degress is max allowed for nhra

Sorry cant disclose info like that as we are trying to keep it secret as there are other teams building s2k race cars too ;)
